That's why I stick with PC games. Cheaper to start off, even cheaper a year later.

Ultimatley I like PC better than console, but I don't have the money to throw at several thousand dollar systems anymore so I just stick with consoles now and if I just happen to not play a game for several months it won't be sitting there taking up space on my hard drive.

I dug Fallout because I was a way into the "Day after Disaster" sci-f books when I was a kid. So the idea of roaming the wastelands like Mad Max appeals to me. Listen for the subtleties in FA3. The supermarket is a lot of fun for that. Some of the audio reactions are a hoot.

But I did discover in GTA IV that if you do wheel spinning donuts long enough in the cars, the tires will blow up. The cars handle like shit on rims.

I prefer gaming on a PC because you are more in control. I like having to build the machine myself to suit my tastes. And then there is the modding of games. The downside is that most games now start out as console games and then convert to PC - often to the detriment of the game.

No cheating on consoles. That's what ruined CS for me. Got sick of buying $500 video cards every year too.

Yeah... took me some time to figure this out. This message VATS available at first only triggered about this face:
Now I know, it is nice to see the blood splatter in slow motion.

I still don't know how to pickpocket. I usually use the option to kill people with nice things. I probably shouldn't have killed the doctor in megaton though.

Now I am on a roll again to kill that mutant behemoth I until now neglected.
Already got my fatman loaded I stored in my house.

For all those that haven't done it yet, I have 3 words for you.

Arm. The. Bomb.

Hot damn that was a helluva boom. Kinda freaked me out after watching that fucker going off and thinking about em raining from the sky whenever "IT" happened.

*Edit, Oh and the MIRV. I got that thing, promptly saved the game and proceeded to radiate the shit out of myself. I played through twice. Once in goody goody mode. Then I went all ted bundy. People freak the fuck out when you start eating the people you just killed.
